Wheat, Grains
About
Red Fife wheat, a hard red spring wheat, is valued for its robust flavor and strong baking qualities. It yields a stronger dough that rises well, featuring a nutty, herbaceous flavor with floral notes, and a crust with deep caramel tones. Its anise-like, sweet, and cinnamon-like flavor profile enhances earthy bread flavors.

Connecting grain growers to millers, bakers, and grain visionaries in our region
Bringing back grains that have fallen out of favor in our food system requires farmers to relearn how to grow them and to determine what grows best in their region. The Kitchen Trials are a “citizen science” effort to understand more about how these grains bake as each region offers a different growing environment that impacts the grains (protein level, flavor, etc.). The knowledge gained will inform the effort to create viable supply networks for large-scale production and consumption.
